Use Webcam to Capture Family Photo

Post by lmconn »

Hey everyone, I've searched for this in the forums, but I don't think it's been addressed. It may end up being a wish list idea.

We're starting a new food pantry ministry and we'd like to take pictures of the families to help us keep track of who we're serving. We're tracking their use of the food pantry through PowerChurch's attendance. Is there a way to use an attached webcam to capture pictures for the family picture? We're not using the checkin system for this because we need to access old attendance info.

You would have to take the picture using the webcam software for taking still pictures, save as a JPEG, then import into Powerchurch.

If you have check in, you can update the family photo from a manned kiosk station. If you need access to attendance information, you could run both PowerChurch and the check in kiosk at the same time and switch and forth between them.
